    ACE Apprenticeship Programs

    Apprenticeship programs train participants in a skilled trade profession. Apprentices work as full-time paid employees of a registered training sponsor company. Programs include hands-on workplace training and related instruction in a classroom setting. Successful completion of each four-level program culminates in a portable, nationally recognized NCCER credential. ACE Apprenticeship classes are approved by the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry (DOLI) standards for apprenticeship related technical instruction.

    • As a full-time employee of the sponsoring employer, a Registered Apprentice completes a minimum of 2,000 hours of supervised on-the-job training and 144 hours of related technical instruction during each year of the apprenticeship
    • ACE apprenticeship programs offer a four-level comprehensive curriculum aligned to the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry (DOLI) standards
    • Each ACE class meets the annual DOLI related instruction requirement
    • Students who earn an apprenticeship certificate are eligible to sit for the corresponding journeyman licensure exam
    • Classes meet twice weekly, once online and once in person
